credit, editor,mberg stock michael reagan. thank you for joining us. something else the caught my eye were the buybacks coming in today. talking about the announced buyback of 50% this year, seems like a big number. if you dig deeper now may be a distinction between announced back -- buybacks and completed buybacks. it will not be trivial in the market and turn out to be not that big of a deal. >> it is this kind of shell game that some companies play and then you look act a few years later and they did not really purchase that much. they get an authorization for that, but what the strategist at barclays are saying is that announced the buybacks are actually good for the stock, completed buybacks are better. that the big jump in announced buybacks is basically due to a couple of big names. ge announced a plan to buy back as much as $50 billion in stock, but in 2015 they will only buy back about 8 billion. he is saying that this boom is not necessarily going to buybacks thisted year. one of the fascinating data points in the report was that if you add u

michael reagan wants to know were the grants tied in any way to anyone in the anheuser-busch family?nfilippo: no, not at all. the busch family purchased about 280 acres of the white haven estate in 1903. the only connection is that in the early years of the war adolphus busch served for a short time in the civil war. susan swain: marvin in cincinnati, you're on. good evening. marvin: yes, i had always heard the story, and i know you had alluded to the enmity that mrs. lincoln and mrs. grant had between each other, that -- that they were originally the first couple that was offered an invitation to ford's theater the night of the assassination, and that mrs. grant sort of politely told mr. grant not to accept and that was the only reason that they were not in the box that night. is that true or not? william seale: that's true, but they were going to philadelphia, and they had a house there. they were going to see the children in philadelphia, and that's where they were when they heard that the president had been shot. susan swain: now, was it as specific that the assassin made it to t

fox news contributor of "new york post," michael goodwin former reagan political director republicanx news contribute or ed rawlins. >> whatever. lou: you are getting me in trouble. >> i am just happy to be with you. lou: i can fix that, let's talk about that that kicked up in new york daily news going after bill bratton, he said he is having trouble brings people in to train as police officers because of their -- i should say african-american primarily with criminal records and condition hire them. >> bill bratton should have spend another month in italy. he should not have made that comment. now he is becoming political that is not the best thing. lou: what do you think of the comment? there is a 2013 labor department study, said this is a major bear area for many african american, primarily men to get a job in this economy because of the criminal records. >> originally report is he said this and then implied this is unfair because the police had been unfair. then he walked that part back. i am with ed on this, i think bratton is out of his lane, in a lot of ways. i think he is at

tonight, pulitzer prize-winning columnist, fox news contributor of the "new york post," michael goodwin. former reagan political director republican strategist and fox news contributor, ed raw lips. >> whatever. >> hare you're going to give me trouble here. just because i can't talk. >> just happy to be here. >> it's great to have you both here. let's start with this customerkerfuffle, new york daily news going after bill bratten said he's having trouble bringing people in to train as police officers because they're african-americans primarily who have criminal records and they can't fire him. >> bill bratten should spend another month in italy. you don't want to make those kinds of comments. michael had a great column the other day. he's now being political. he's one of the great law enforcement officers of the country. he's what many people praised, that he was going to be the safety net. now he's becoming political and i think that's the wrong thing. >> what do you think of the comment? because in point of fact as i said tonight, there's a 2013 labor department study says this is a major barrier fo

the north charleston police department fired michael slager days after the reagan became public.ideo shows in firing eight times as walter scott was running away. global sales at mcdonald's are still falling but now are declining less than expected. that is seen as a sign of progress under the new ceo. global same-store sales rose 10%. shares of mcdonald's have gained 2% through the end of last week. a bu game mogul from china is learning there is no such thing as a free lunch. won an annual charity auction to break bread with warren buffett. the price tag, more than $2.3 million. the money goes to a charity in san francisco that provides meals and housing for the poor. coming up in the next half hour, in the commodities close, we look at copper. struggling with a six-week low as china announces an import decline. the comments reportedly made by president obama at the g7. and elon musk excited about solar energy. he speaks at the edison electric energy convention. we will discuss that and much more coming up next. first, let's go back to the greylock summit in montauk, new york w

reagan supported roosevelt. >> michael steele, speaking of, like big campaign events. i am all for wearing the media hair shirt and saying this is hugely our problem. but the sort of campaign jiu-jitsu that's being practiced on both sides of the aisle. let's talk about the announcement itself. hillary clinton has been running for president for like a year now. she's anoupsnounced but having the big announcement against the roosevelt backdrop. jeb bush has not actually announced his candidacy. i do want to say if we're going to be responsible media people, it is farcical, the rules governing whether or not you're actually running for president and the campaign finance laws that undergurd this theatre. >> i agree. we place more attention on people who haven't announced and still done have a guarantee that they're going to announce for president, than we do on the people that are actually in the race. that's announce number one. the other side of the coin is when you look at what's happened to hillary clinton, i would agree that the media has played a role in that narrati

michael & son weather camera. so today is our best chance to tie or break that record. our record at reagan national is only 95. that's doable as we go through the weekend, highs get a little bit higher and higher and the temperatures stay pretty same. 77 degrees it's -- similar. 77 degrees and that's why we saw temperatures warmer into overnight hours. couple of showers today that's a difference from yesterday. to help cool you off. and chances for rain begin to increase starting tomorrow for everybody. 80 by 9:00 in the morning. 88 by lunchtime and your high today? 93. >>> breaking overnight in d.c., a hit and run accident is now a fatal accident. we're here an first sterile -- at first sterling and suitland parkway. almost clear so that's the good news, but the bad news is that one person died last night just before may want. take a look at the video you can see from the scene. earlier last night. we know that two vehicles were involved. they were gustod away from the scene -- just towed away from the scene and outbound lanes are open and inbound is still closed here on suitland parkway. s in what we know wh

>> a ronald reagan appointee by the name of anthony michael kennedy.ist roam catholic irish catholic member of the supreme court for 30 years. is the offer of this opinion. [laughter] you can't make this stuff up, chris. >> so kennedy and we've seen this, and you've talked about this. so here you have justice roberts and kennedy always gets to run the supreme court; right? because he's the swing voter. he's the one that transitionally has been available to both sides of the divided branch. but in this case we see justice roberts who is the villain to conservatives yesterday as he is out there talking about why the law doesn't say what it says, and it says what they meant it to say, not what they had it say. in this case he is thundering, banging against the very kind of thing where he says you can't just make up the law. you can't just decide what the law says. that's a head scratcher. . stuart: i want to bring in doug who is standing i believe on the steps of the supreme court and doug, i believe that you're a vigorous supporter of gay marriage. you h

reagan administration. another point to make though, is that what this is being perceived as in the entire region is that the united states is choosing sides. as michaelsaid there's a growing connection between the two sides. it will be very, very bloody in between. it looks like the united states is playing sides and the side we're choosing is iran because the deal with iran, iran is not dismantling its nuclear weapons. it's not being asked to stop support for terrorism. it's being rewarded with a signing bonus as michael said i think $120 billion on day one as assets are un"f iran. so, to quote the general iran is getting nuclear weapons. we now realize iran will probably have an economic boom in the region and the other countries in the region as claire cleverly pointed out the other countries in the region are buying this and will embark on their own nuclear projects. money will be no object. when that starts happening, which we feel it will be in the next several years that you will see nuclear weapons introduced into the most dangerous and unstable part of the world a part of the world where people should be allowed to play with matches and now

and they really got heart wrenching when he was asked to you remember who michael was cut he was ronald reagan's closest friend for closest political associates from way back in the california days and he can't remember. he said it's almost like i was never president at all. it is anguishing to read this because here is someone who is vanishing before his eyes and it is also kind of scary. how much of the symptoms were there when he was in the white house? on a do not use the label or the turbine to know he uses it himself. but i don't need that to demonstrate he was slowing down when he was in the white house. he'd never been a workaholic. he was never what these people that bought the more hours you put in the translate directly into better output. he went to the residence, and then up at the end of the workday. he would often sleep in and he wouldn't come down until 9:00. by the end of the term he wasn't coming down until 10:00. can i point to anything -- poindexter was pointing to the iran contra. can i point to any aspect of the policy that suffered because of this? i cannot. i can give you
